WJelcome  to  (^ustlium 

In  his  book,  'The  Outermost  House",  Henry  Beston  described  his  feelings 
about  our  town  when  he  wrote:  "Outermost  cliff  and  solitary  dune,  the  plane 
of  the  ocean  and  the  far  bright  rims  of  the  world;  meadow  land,  and  marsh, 
and  ancient  moor;  this  is  Eastham;  this  is  the  Outer  Cape".  So  you  too  can 
stand  on  the  "solitary  dune",  and  gaze  across  to  "the  far  bright  rims  of  the 
world".  Those  of  us  who  call  Eastham  our  home,  welcome  you,  our  visitors, 
and  hope  that  you  too  can  enjoy  Eastham  as  we  do  and  as  Henry  Beston  did. 

For  your  information  about  Eastham.  It  was  settled  by  a handful  of 
people  from  Plymouth  in  1644  and  incorporated  in  1651.  At  this  time  Eastham 
included  the  areas  now  covered  by  the  present  towns  of  Orleans,  Brewster, 
Harwich,  parts  of  Chatham  and  Wellfleet.  From  the  solitary  dunes  on  the 
ocean  side  to  the  flat  bayside  ...  a distance  of  three  miles  across  ...  it  covers 
an  area  of  a little  more  than  14  miles.  It  has  a population  of  3,059,  and  like 
all  towns  on  the  Cape  it  has  a town  meeting  form  of  government,  with 
elected  Selectmen  (three)  at  the  helm.  Tax  rate  last  year  was  $35.10  per 
thousand;  a grand  list  of  $52,036,249.00,  total  assessment,  which  produced  in 
revenue  to  the  Town,  a total  of  $1,826,472.34.

Recommended:  Before  going 
out  in  a boat,  do  what  this 
man  is  doing  . . . check  your 
gas  and  your  tides  among  the 
items  mentioned  below.  Low 
tides  in  the  marshes  are  ex- 
tremely treacherous  ...  to  be 
caught  out  there  without  gas 
when  the  tide  recedes  may  be 
most  uncomfortable.  It  is  a 
long  way  back  pulling  your 
boat  thru  the  mud  of  the 
marsh. 


IMPORTANT  INFORMATION 


Small  Boat  Suggetions 

Before  going  out  in  a small  boat  of  any 
kind  . . . CHECK  THE  WEATHER. 

The  law  requires  that  a small  boat  regard- 
less of  size,  when  driven  by  a motor,  includ- 
ing an  outboard  motor,  must  have  aboard 
a life  preserver  or  a buoyant  cushion  for 
each  person  (including  children)  on  board. 
There  is  a fine  of  $100  for  both  owner  and 
occupant.

About  licenses,  parking  stickers 

You  must  obtain  a sticker  for  your  car  to

from  the  police  department  for  beach  parties. 
While  at  the  Town  Hall  for  the  above,

be  easier  to  find  you.  There  are  new  regu- 
lations about  loose  running  dogs.  Find  out 
about  them  at  the  Town  Hall.

EASTHAM  PUBLIC  LIBRARY 

Our  Public  Library  has  one  of  the  loveliest 
locations  in  town.  It  is  located  on  Samoset 
Road  just  west  of  the  Windmill  and  overlooking 
Long  Pond.  There  is  a convenient  off-street 
parking  area  behind  the  library. 

The  original  building  was  built  in  1897  by  the 
Village  Improvement  Society  (which  explains 
the  inscription  over  the  library  door)  and  was 
given  to  the  town  in  1903.  During  1976  the 
Trustees  published  a short  history  of  the 
library,  written  and  researched  by  Helen 
Schwind.  Copies  of  this  history  are  still  available 
at  the  library. 

Librarian  Jane  Eldridge  will  be  happy  to  help 
you  make  a selection  from  among  the  current 
books  or  from  our  excellent  Cape  Cod  collec- 
tion. Genealogists  will  find  a wealth  of  material 
here,  and  children,  of  course,  get  special  atten- 
tion. Check  the  local  papers  for  story  hour 
times  and  Mimsy  puppet  shows. 

All  are  welcome  to  use  the  library  facilities.

Although  Eastham's  Coast  Guard  beach  is  on 
occasion,  a surfer's  paradise,  there  are  times 
when  surfers,  like  this  one  pictured  here,  must 
wait  and  wait  for  the  proper  time  and  the 
proper  wave  to  come  rollin'  in.

THE  MILLER  EXPOUNDING 

The  wheels  go  round  and  round  and  the  flour 
comes  out  here,  explains  Miller  James  Owens  to 
interested  visitors.  This  windmill,  one  of  the  most 
photographed  objects  in  this  area,  is  considered 
to  be  the  oldest  workable  grist  mill  on  Cape  Cod. 
Tradition  says  it  was  built  in  Plymouth  in  1793, 
dismantled  and  brought  across  the  bay  on  a log  raft 
to  Truro,  and  a few  years  Jater,  probably  in 
1797,  taken  apart  and  brought  over  the  road  to  Eastham, 
where  it  was  set  up  on  its  present  location 
on  the  Green.

SALT  POND,  EASTHAM,  1977 

It  looks  as  though  it  might  be  a bridge  across 
the  pond.  Or  perhaps  it's  a seagull  rookery  or 
feeding  station  for  migrating  birds.  Actually,  it 
isn't  any  of  those,  but  rather  a hopeful  effort  to 
produce  more  shellfish  in  Eastham.  What  we  are 
referring  to  is  the  string  of  floats,  rafts  and 
what-have-you  that  lies  in  Salt  Pond. 

Hanging  below  the  styrofoam  floats  that  you 
see  from  the  shore  are  trays  containing  a variety 
of  shellfish  ranging  from  oysters  to  blue  mussels, 
quahogs  (hard  shell  clams),  scallops  and  steamers 
(soft  shell  clams).  They  all  have  one  thing  in 
common  — they  are  all  babies,  growing  as  fast 
as  they  can  in  our  "nursery".  The  reason  that 
they  are  there  is  because  the  growing  conditions 
in  Salt  Pond,  things  like  food,  salinity,  tempera- 
ture, shelter  from  storms,  are  near  perfect  for 
them  and  they  take  full  advantage  of  the  season. 

Most  of  the  rafts  contain  young  quahogs.  In 
the  spring,  they  are  delivered  to  the  pond  from 
a hatchery  when  they  are  about  as  big  as  a pea, 
age  four  months.  Up  to  one  hundred  thousand 
are  given  a home  in  sandboxes  hanging  from  the 
rafts.  By  the  following  spring  they  are  over  an 
inch  in  length  and  ready  to  be  transplanted  to  the 
rest  of  the  marsh.  In  a short  time  they  will  reach 
a legal  size  of  two  inches  and  be  ready  for 
your  table. 

And  so  it  is  with  the  other  beasts  living  under 
the  rafts.  Some  are  brought  to  us  from  hatcher- 
ies, others  are  bestowed  on  us  by  Mother  Nature. 
The  nursery  protects  from  predators  the  young 
in  the  early  stages  of  their  life  when  they  are 
most  vulnerable,  and  provides  us  with  one  more 
step  toward  the  future  of  our  shellfish  resources. 

For  you  to  take  advantage  of  today's  resources, 
first  stop  at  the  Town  Hall  and  purchase  a shell- 
fish license.  Then  fetch  your  scratcher,  pail  and 
family  helpers  and  dig  up  some  supper.  Salt 
Pond  is  open  on  Sundays  only  as  listed  in  the 
schedule  below.  The  rest  of  the  town  is  open 
all  the  time  except  as  posted.  You'll  be  glad 
you  did. 

In  spite  of  the  growing  price  of  shellfish  seed, 
Eastham  has  managed  to  keep  their  license  fees 
at  a minimum:  for  non-commercial  she! Ifisher- 


men:  $3  for  a tax  payer;  $5  for  a family  renting 
in  Eastham;  and  for  non-resident,  non-renting 
visitors  $10.  These  fees  are  for  an  entire  family 
and  permit  the  taking  of  one  level  10-quart  pail 
of  any  and  all  kinds  of  shellfish  per  week  all  year. 
(Excepting  scallops,  for  which  special  regulations 
are  written  each  year.) 


Non-commercial  shellfishing  on  Sundays  only. 
On  Sundays  not  listed  below,  the  Salt  Pond  is 
open  for  non-commercial  shellfishing  all  day. 
Areas  in  Salt  Pond  open  only  as  posted  at  Town 
Landing.  All  other  areas  in  Eastham  open  at  all 
times  between  sunrise  and  sunset  unless  other- 
wise posted.  All  sedge  grass  areas  closed  to  all 
shellfishing.

one  LEVEL  10-quart  pail  per  family  per  week.

Those  Great 
“Do-Nothing-Days” 

Under  the  watchful  eyes  of  the  lifeguards  (in 
white  helmets)  swimmers  challenge  the  surf  at 
Coast  Guard  Beach,  one  of  the  favorite  swimming 
areas  in  the  National  Seashore. 

Eastham  Visitor's 
Activity  Index 

AREA  ORIENTATION:  Soon  after  you  arrive, 
check  in  at  the  Eastham  Town  Hall  on  Rt.  Six  in 
the  center  of  town.  Here  information  is  avail- 
able about  fishing  licenses,  beach  parking  per- 
mits, fire  permits  for  beach  cookouts,  boat 
mooring  permits  at  the  Eastham  Marina  at  Rock 
Harbor.  Get  acquainted  with  town  officials, 
including  the  police  and  fire  departments.  Leave 
your  name  and  address  so  that  you  can  be 
reached  in  an  emergency. 

On  Rt.  Six,  going  towards  Orleans  is  the  town 
operated  Information  Booth,  staffed  with  quali- 
fied personnel  who  can  help  with  information 
about  available  cottage  space,  where  to  eat, 
location  of  gift  shops,  etc. 

The  Visitor  Center  of  the  National  Seashore 
Park  is  a must  and  is  located  just  Off  Rt.  Six  a 
few  hundred  yards  north  of  the  Town  Hall. 


SWMMING,  SURFING  AND  SUN  BATHING 
(for  those  great  "do-nothing"  days) 

Eastham  is  rich  in  sources  for  such  activities 
. . . the  ocean,  the  bay  and  the  fresh  water 
ponds.  Those  who  prefer  surfing  and  the  robust 
challenge  of  the  sea  with  its  colder  water,  can 
enjoy  the  Coast  Guard  and  the  Nauset  Light 
beaches,  both  within  the  jurisdiction  of  the 
National  Seashore  with  its  life  guards  and  bath- 
houses. Each  beach  has  a "surfing"  section 
reserved.  For  warmer  water  and  family  type 
beach  activities,  the  five  bay  beaches  offer  safe 
bathing  and  where  you  can  walk  out  several 
hundred  feet  without  getting  your  head  wet. 
First  Encounter  and  Cook's  Brook  beaches  have 
restroom  facilities.  Parking  stickers  can  be 
obtained  at  the  Town  Hall.  Fresh  water  bathing 
can  be  enjoyed  at  several  town  ponds,  featured 
by  Wiley  Park  on  Great  Pond,  off  Herring  Brook 
Road  (see  map)  where  a bathhouse  and  Picnic 
Area  are  located.  Swimming  and  Life  Saving 
classes  under  competent  instructors  are  also  held 
here.  (Check  story  on  Rec.  Activities)  Herring 
Pond,  off  the  road  by  the  same  name,  is  also  a 
popular  spot.

Bicycle  Trails,  designed  to  keep  you  off  the 
heavily  travelled  highways,  are  beginning  to  be 
built  so  that,  eventually  the  entire  Cape  will 
be  connected.  At  the  present,  a well  built  Bike 
trail  will  take  you  from  the  Visitor's  Center  to 
the  Coast  Guard  Beach  area,  thru  several  miles 
of  field  and  forest.  A more  complete  trail  thru 
Eastham  is  described  on  another  page. 


INDIAN  SUMMER:  We  invite  you  to  visit  us  in 
the  summer,  but  many,  many  people  prefer 


The  Red  Cedar  Swamp  Trail  approaching  the 
Penniman  House,  in  the  Fort  Hill  area  of  the 
National  Seashore.  In  the  distance,  still  unseen, 
the  thunderous  beat  of  the  Atlantic  surf  may 
be  heard  ...  as  it  pounds  the  fragile  dunes  of 
the  Outer  Beach. 


Eastham  in  the  late  fall,  when  we  think  the  Cape 
is  at  its  best.  Little  or  no  traffic,  uncrowded 
beaches,  ample  restaurant  and  gift  shop  facilities 
. . . and  best  of  all,  the  weather  is  ideal  . . and 
THE  PRICE  IS  RIGHT.  Most  cottage  colonies 
and  motels  feature  reduced  rates.  Check  with 
them  before  leaving  the  Cape  in  the  summer. 
Plan  a return  visit  . . . when  everything,  includ- 
ing the  PRICE  IS  RIGHT. 


Along  the  bicycle  trail  from  the  Visitor's  Center 
to  the  Coast  Guard  Beach  area.  . . This  magni- 
ficent hiking  and  biking  trail  meanders  from 
the  Visitor's  Center  to  the  ocean,  passing  thru 
the  Cedar  Banks  and  on  over  the  Great  Marsh, 
where  in  the  proper  season  the  blue  heron  and 
flying  wedges  of  Canadian  geese  vie  with  the 
terns  and  gulls  for  vantage  points.

A stroll  through  Eastham's  old  burying 
grounds  can  be  richly  rewarding  to  historian  or 
casual  visitor,  especially  if  they  bear  one  of  the 
old  names  to  be  found  on  the  ancient  stones, 
for  some  were  among  the  first  settlers  in  the 
new  world. 

As  you  come  into  Eastham  after  leaving  the 
rotary  at  the  end  of  the  Mid-Cape  highway, 
keep  your  eyes  open  for  the  little  cemetery  on 
the  right,  about  half-way  to  the  town  hall.  It  was 
in  this  vicinity  near  the  Cove  about  1644  that 
the  first  settlers  built  their  homes,  their  20  foot 
square  meeting,  house  with  a thatched  roof  and 
portholes  for  guns,  and  buried  their  dead  in 
tne  churchyard.  A second  meeting  house 
replaced  the  first  in  16/6,  and  it  was  enlarged 
in  1700. 

Samuel  Treat,  the  town's  first  minister  and 
ordained  in  1672,  was  the  Son  of  Governor 
Robert  Treat  of  Connecticut.  He  died  in  a 
snow  storm  in  1716  at  the  age  of  69,  and  was 
carried  to  his  grave  in  this  cemetery  on  the 
shoulders  of  his  Indian  friends.'  Somewhere  in 
this  small  cemetery  are  the  unmarked  graves 
of  three  Mayflower  passengers.  Constance 
Hopkins  (1605-1677)  who  married  Nicholas 
Snow  (Eastham  town  clerk  from  1646  to  1662) 
in  1627  and  had  eleven  children.  Giles  Hopkins 
(1607-1690)  brother  of  Constance,  who  married 
Catherine  Wheldon  in  1639  and  had  seven 
children.  Lieut.  Joseph  Rogers  (1608-1678;  who 
married  Hannah  (?)  and  had  seven  children. 
Over  the  centuries  the  slate  stones  have  split, 
the  epitaphs  have  weathered  away,  but  still 
to  be  read  are  the  graves  of  Samuel  Brown, 
Captain  Samuel  Freeman,  Deacon  Edward 
Knowles,  Thomas  Mulford,  David  Doane, 
Thomas  Lewes,  Samuel  Hedge,  Ebenezer  Hard- 
ing, John  Freeman,  John  knowles,  Richard 
Sparrow,  Jonathan  Sparrow,  Daniel  Cole,  Han- 
nah Snow,  Thankful  Higgins,  along  with  wives 
and  children  in  some  instances.  There  are 
memorial  stones  to  John  Doane  and  Ralph 
Smith.  The  legible  stones  in  this  cemetery 
date  from  1706  to  1757. 

The  Third  meeting  house  was  built  in  1720 
on  Bridge  Road  near  the  center  of  town.  Or 
this  meeting  house  Heman  Doane  wrote: 

1.  The  old  South  meeting-house,  timeworn 

and  gray 

that  stood  fronting  East  to  the  "King's 


Highway, 

that  goeth  to  Billingsgate,"  so  runs  the 
phrase, 

in  quaint  old  records  of  olden  days. 

2.  All  gone!  that  old  Congregational  band, 
Save  here  and  there  one,  to  the  Spirit 
land; 

And  their  mouldering  forms  are  sleeping 
near 

Where  the  old  church  stood  for  many 
a year. 

Here  in  the  adjoining  burying  ground,  are 
to  be  found  the  stones  of  the  Rev.  Edward 
Cheever  (and  his  wife  Martha)  who  served 
from  1751  to  his  death  in  1794,  as  well  as 
deacons,  sea  captains,  soldiers,  and  public 
servants.  Here  are  to  be  found  the  later 
descendants  of  those  named  in  the  first  church- 
yard, as  well  as  the  names  Atwood,  Cobb, 
NicKerson,  Myrick,  Remick,  Pepper,  Mayo, 
PacKard,  Clark,  Lombard,  Crosby,  Shaw,  and 
others  dimmed  by  time.  The  stones  in  this 
cemetery  date  from  1754  to  1881. 

The  Third  meeting  house  was  replaced  by 
the  fourth  and  last  Congregational  church  on 
the  main  highway  (now  Route  6)  just  South  of 
the  railroad  crossing.  This  last  meeting  house 
was  sold  about  18b4,  and  only  the  burying 
ground,  now  known  as  the  Congregational  and 
boidiers  Cemetry  remains,  with  still  a few 
unsold  lots.  Here  is  to  be  found  the  stone  of 
the  Rev.  Pnilander  Shaw  who  was  ordained  in 
1/95  and  served  42  years  until  1838.  Also  are 
to  be  found  me  names  or  the  later  descendants 
of  those  in  tne  two  older  burying  grounds,  and 
in  addition  the  later  names  of  Paine,  Chase, 
Brackett,  Hopkins,  Gill,  Cummings,  and  others. 
Here  the  stones  date  from  about  1830  to  the 
present. 

With  the  passing  of  the  Congregational  church 
about  1864,  the  Methodist  church  was  growing, 
lor  it  was  first  organized  about  1821.  A larger 
Methodist  church  was  built  in  1851  and  this 
was  destroyed  by  tire  in  1920.  I he  present 
Evergreen  cemetery  grew  up  around  the 
Metnodist  church,  and  is  now  uie  town's  prin- 
cipal cemetery,  here  will  be  found  names  dat- 
ing from  abuut  1821  to  the  present,  again 
Containing  many  or  the  old  names  and  more 
and  more  new,  and  later  ones.

THE  CROSBY  TAVERN 

This  beautiful  and  historic  Cape  situated  on  Bridge  Road  near  the  old  cemetery  has 
a long  and  colorful  history. 

It  began  its  existence  about  1720  when  it  was  built  as  a parsonage  for  the  nearby 
Congregational  Church.  The  church  is  no  longer  there  but  the  graveyard  contains 
the  remains  of  many  of  the  early  settlers  of  Eastham  including  the  Reverend  and 
Mrs.  Cheever.  He  was  called  to  serve  the  parish  in  1750  and  lived  with  his  family 
in  the  parsonage.  After  his  death  the  widow  Cheever  sold  the  house  to  a well  known 
coastal  trader  named  Thomas  Crosby.  Under  his  ownership  it  was  turned  into  a 
tavern  and  became  a regular  stop  for  passing  stagecoaches. 

During  the  war  of  1812  the  old  public  house  played  a prominent  role — for  it  was 
under  this  roof  that  three  British  officers  and  twenty  men  of  H.M.S.  Spencer,  which 
was  patrolling  Cape  Cod  Bay,  were  kept  prisoners  one  night  after  they  had  been 
tricked  by  Yankee  Captain  Mayo. 

Capt.  Mayo  was  impressed  to  pilot  the  schooner  which  was  armed  with  brass  four- 
pounders  and  the  usual  equipment  of  war.  One  day  during  a storm  Mayo  directed 
the  helmsman  to  a bad  anchorage  where  the  Eastham  townspeople  turned  out  to 
watch  the  fun.  Mayo  advised  his  Captain  to  go  below  to  allay  any  suspicions  of  the 
citizens  and  gave  him  a gimlet  to  tap  a keg  of  rum  located  below.  When  Captain 
and  crew  became  suitably  drunk  he  went  ashore  and  reported  his  capture.  The  local 
militia  marched  the  prisoners  to  Crosby  Tavern  where  they  made  the  best  of  a 
bad  night. 

After  Crosby  died  in  1825  his  wife  remarried  and  sold  the  tavern  to  Captain  Joshua 
Nickerson  who  made  it  into  a home.  Nickerson's  descendants  lived  there  until 
recently  when  it  was  sold  to  Earl  E.  Welch,  the  present  owner.

Nineteen  years  ago  a common  interest 
in  art  brought  eight  women  together  to 
form  the  group  known  as  the  Nauset 
Painters.  They  painted  together,  met  for 
business  meetings  and  began  exhibiting 
their  paintings  in  outdoor  shows.  Mem- 
bership is  limited  in  order  for  the  artists 
to  meet  monthly  in  each  other's  homes. 
The  paintings  exhibited  in  the  early  out- 
door shows  were  hung  on  clothesline 
strung  from  tree  to  tree,  and  later  snow 
fencing  and  wire  was  used  as  a sturdier 
backing  for  the  art  work.  The  art  back- 
grounds of  the  Nauset  Painters  are  as 
varied  as  their  styles  and  media.  The 
purpose  of  the  Nauset  Painters  is  to 
further  the  interest  in  art  among  them- 
selves and  in  the  community.  They  have 
given  scholarships  to  Nauset  area  stu- 
dents who  are  majoring  in  art.  They  have 
also  added  to  the  collection  of  fine  arts 
books  at  the  Snow  Library  in  Orleans. 
Other  artists  may  exhibit  in  three  of  the 
six  shows  which  gives  Sunday  painters, 
summer  as  well  as  local  artists,  profes- 
sional and  amateur,  an  opportunity  to 
sell  and  be  seen  by  the  hundreds  of 
people  who  attend  the  shows.  People 
come  back  year  after  year  to  Brewster, 
Orleans  and  Eastham  to  see  the  latest 


work  of  their  favorite  artist  and  enjoy 
the  informal  park  atmosphere  of  the 
Orleans  Village  Green  or  Eastham  His- 
torical Schoolhouse  Museum  grounds.

The  Captain  Penniman  House,  home  of  one  of 
Eastham's  whaling  captains.  It  is  easy  to  under- 
stand why  Edward  Penniman,  a well  traveled 
whaler,  selected  this  spot  for  his  home.  The 
Fort  Hill  area,  where  this  house  stands,  has  one 
of  the  most  beautiful  views  on  the  Cape.  Here 
again  one  might  visualize  Champlain's  encoun- 
ter with  the  Nauset  Indians,  large  farms  cover- 
ing the  rolling  fields,  and  the  salt  works  along 
the  edge  of  the  bluff,  producing  the  much 
needed  salt  during  the  Revolution  and  the  war 
of  1812.  At  this  time  only  the  exterior  has  been 
restored,  and  may  be  viewed  along  the  self- 
guided  Fort  Hill  Trail.  This  one  and  a half  mile 
trail  guides  you  thru  many  years  of  history, 
and  is  combined  with  the  Red  Maple  Swamp 
which  tells  the  story  of  of  nature  in  all  its 
stages. 


CHURCH  SERVICES 

(More  than  three  hundred  years — in  1672  to  be  exact — Samuel  Treat  became  the  town's  first  minister, 
and  thundered  his  message  of  hell-fire  and  damnation.  As  a historian  of  the  times  declared:  "his 
voice  was.  so  loud  when  speaking  it  could  be  heard  at  a great  distance  from  the  meeting  house, 
even  i n the  midst  of  the  winds  that  blowed  over  the  plains  of  Nauset".) 

Perhaps  not  in  the  thunderous  tones  of  Mr.  Treat,  yet  the  church  leaders  of  the  present  preach 
their  religious  philosophies  with  the  same  zeal.  The  following  churches  are  within  easy  travelling

EASTHAM  WEATHER 

(as  compiled  by  Cape  Cod  Chamber  of  Comm.) 

We  in  Eastham  are  fortunate  regarding  our 
weather.  Situated  between  the  Atlantic  Ocean 
and  Cape  Cod  Bay,  the  stabilizing  effect  of  both 
bodies  of  water  tend  to  keep  Eastham  cooler 
in  the  summer  and  warmer  in  the  winter  than 
the  mainland,  or  for  that  matter  most  of  the 
Upper  Cape.

Of  shipwrecks  on  Nauset  before  estab- 
lishment of  the  life  saving  service  there 
is  no  complete  record.  One  study, 
covering  the  seventeen  years  ending  in 
I860,  showed  lost  at  Nauset  fourteen 
brigs,  twelve  schooners,  six  barks  and 
three  ships.  Another  study,  of  wrecks 
where  loss  of  life  and  value  of  vessels 
was  recorded,  for  the  years  1837-60, 
showed  thirty-one  vessels,  fifty-six  lives 
and  property — ships  and  cargoes — 
worth  just  under  a million  dollars! 


Eastham  Historical  Facts 

researched  by  Fred  Jewel. 

SALT  MAKING 

Eastham  at  one  time  had  as  many  as 
fifty  salt-making  plants.  The  salt-making 
business  reached  its  peak  about  1830 
when  western  and  foreign  salt  started 
coming  in  and  the  price  of  pine  lumber 
from  Maine,  used  for  making  vats,  in- 
creased prohibitively.  Dr.  Palfrey  at  the 
Bicentennial  in  Barnstable,  in  1839 
spoke  of  voyaging  20  miles,  south  of 
Provincetown,  along  a shore  which 
seemed  built  of  salt  vats.  At  that  time 
it  took  more  than  300  gallons  of  sea 
water  to  make  a bushel  of  salt,  and 
boiled  down,  was  worth  $8.00.  Solar 
evaporation  of  salt  was  patented  in  1799 
by  a Dennis  man. 


AGRICULTURAL  PRODUCTS 

Indians  raised  quantities  of  corn  in 
Eastham  on  what  was  called  the  Plains 
of  Nauset,  and  white  settlers  produced 
it  for  export.  From  one  to  three  thousand 
bushels  were  sold  from  the  town  in 
some  years.  Single  farms  raised  as  much 
as  five  hundred  bushels  of  grain,  and  a 
yield  of  800  bushels  was  credited  to  one 
farm.  As  late  as  1920  there  were  1700 
acres  with  hardly  a vegetable  mould, 
that  had  once  produced  corn  and  wheat. 
A couple  of  decades  after  the  landing 
of  the  Pilgrims,  people  in  Plymouth 
seriously  considered  transplanting  the 
whole  Plymouth  Colony  to  the  flat  and 
sea  girt  town  of  Eastham,  largely  because 
of  the  fertile  acres.

EASTHAM  BIKEWAYS 


At  the  present  time  there  is  a direct  route  that  joins  the  Orleans  bikeway  system 
with  Eastham  routes  and  leads  to  the  Eastham-Wellfleet  town  line.  This  route  avoids 
heavily  travelled  Route  6 through  Eastham  by  turning  off  at  the  Orleans-Eastham 
traffic  circle,  heading  west  for  a few  hundred  yards,  and  then  north  along  Bridge 
Road.  It  continues  along  Herring  Brook  Road,  Massasoit  Road  behind  the  Wellfleet 
Drive-In,  into  Wellfleet. 

This  route  is  quite  scenic,  crossing  the  bridge  at  Boatmeadow  Creek,  offering 
a view  across  the  marsh  to  Cape  Cod  Bay,  toward  the  fishing  grounds.  The  route 
continues  along  the  marsh,  with  a vista  toward  First  Encounter  Beach,  then  passing 
through  a wooded  area  along  lightly  travelled  roads,  finally  reaching  the  Wellfleet 
sanctuary  of  the  Audubon  Society  before  joining  Route  6 in  Wellfleet. 

A circular  trip  around  Eastham  is  possible  by  turning  off  Massasoit  Road,  crossing 
Route  6 in  North  Eastham  at  the  light,  continuing  along  Bracket  Road  and  Cable 
Road  to  the  Atlantic  Ocean  beaches.
